Product Description
Amazon.com Review
The Hewlett-Packard DeskJet 710C is a compact personal ink jet that delivers high-quality output at a bargain price. This color printer lacks its own software bundle but is an easy-to-use PC add-on.
Like some of HP's other ink-jet models, the 710C uses a space-saving case design that fits neatly on most desks. Paper enters the printer via a 100-page input tray, which extends horizontally from the front, and exits directly over the top into an output tray. The input tray's adjustable guides allow for legal-size paper, envelopes, and special-sized media as narrow as 3 inches. This tray also pulls out to allow for easy reloading. Consistent with Hewlett-Packard's latest designs, the DeskJet 710C features a switch that allows the input tray to handle continuous banner paper.
Loading ink into the DeskJet 710C couldn't be simpler. When you lift the cover, the ink cartridges automatically move to the center of the unit for easy access. Side-by-side black and tricolor cartridges insert securely via obvious, green release levers. Because cartridges contain both the ink reservoir and nozzle, they won't make a mess when you change them.
Black text prints at up to 600 x 600 dpi, and the unit uses Hewlett-Packard's PhotoRet II technology to provide brilliant color. In our test we found the DeskJet 710C's output impressive for the printer's price. Text was crisp with smooth curves, and photographic output was well balanced and realistic. Because no application software is included with the DeskJet 710C, you'll need your own programs to design colorful creations. But if you're just looking for a way to add quality output to your system, this is a wise and affordable solution.
Pros:
- High quality at a low price
- Compact design
- Simple operation
- No application software
From the Manufacturer

Good Quality Printer, but beware if you need compatibility!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hewlett Packard DeskJet 710C Printer (Office Product)
The HP 710C is a very good quality printer, most of my output looks as if it was laser printed. Its quick and fast and inexpensive, although I haven't had to buy a new cartridge yet. However although it looks like a standard inkjet printer it is different in a very important way, it uses a protocol called PPA (performance Printing Architecture) This is a very non-standard and has a few disadvantages. You can't network this printer, it loads my computer making it slow down dramatically whenever I try work and print at the same time (this is because windows does most of the work in the background because the printer has less memory and on-board intelligence then usual), Also if you want to use it an anything other than Windows (i.e LINUX) you cant!). Overall a good buy for an exclusively windows PC without networkability.

The Ink Cartriges Go On and On and On,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hewlett Packard DeskJet 710C Printer (Office Product)
This was the first printer I ever got that did photographs at a sane rate of speed. This printer is fast, and VERY cheap (cents per page). My ink cartridge just ran out and it's been over a year since I got it. There is also absolutely no load time for this printer. You turn it on and it's on. This is the fastest startup printer I've ever seen. At first I thought it was broken because it turned on so fast! The only problem with any HP printer is that it lags your computer a bit when printing. I have a 300 MHz p2 with 128 Megs of ram but it lags a little still. I recommend this printer to the regular consumer. Hint: Don't buy a HP connector they cost too much. Also align your ink heads every month or so.

Converted,
By Wayne Brooker (Wales) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hewlett Packard DeskJet 710C Printer (Office Product)
Ok, I admit it, I was always an Epson Addict, but when my last printer bit the dust and I had to sniff out a budget model, I plumped for the HP 710c. I switched on expecting the very worst, and got a surprise. This unit is quiet, quick to standby, solid, well built and produces amazingly good results. I still favour my old Epson Photo 700 for photo quality, but for just about anything else, on just about any paper, I can't fault the 710c (DAMN! ). Ink lasts forever too, you can't go wrong. I really never thought I'd see myself saying this about an HP, I've always found them clunky, clumsy and decidedly average, looks like I'm going to have to eat my words on this one.
